Psalms 5
1 Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my sighing.
2 Listen to my cry for help, my King and my God, for to
you I pray.
3 In the morning, O LORD, you hear my voice; in the
morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation.
4 You are not a God who takes pleasure in evil; with
you the wicked cannot dwell.
5 The arrogant cannot stand in your presence; you hate
all who do wrong.
6 You destroy those who tell lies; bloodthirsty and
deceitful men the LORD abhors.
7 But I, by your great mercy, will come into your
house; in reverence will I bow down toward your holy temple.
8 Lead me, O
LORD, in your righteousness because of my enemies— make straight your way
before me.
9 Not a word from their mouth can be trusted; their
heart is filled with destruction. Their throat is an open grave; with their
tongue they speak deceit.
10 Declare them guilty, O God! Let their intrigues be their
downfall. Banish them for their many sins, for they have rebelled against you.
11 But let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them
ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them that those who love your
name may rejoice in you.
12 For surely, O LORD, you bless the righteous; you
surround them with your favor as with a shield.
